Though Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were celebrating the Duke's 40th birthday over the weekend, the charitable couple still always makes time to attend events, especially to those championing a good cause. And it wouldn't be a true surprise outing without a knock-out outfit from the Duchess of Sussex.

According to Hello!, this past weekend, the pair visited the annual George Zajfen Tennis Tournament which benefits the Alliance for Children’s Rights. The yearly tournament honors the son of Kelly & Julian Zaifen, George, who tragically passed away a few years ago.

At the event, the pair were rocking sporty 'fits. Prince Harry wore a fairly casual outfit featuring a white t-shirt, navy blazer, long navy chinos and blue-gray slip-on shoes. Markle stunned in a nearly-$2,000 ivory collared and sleeveless dress with a full button front made of a wool and cotton blend from Italian brand Giuliva Heritage. Her dress was perfect for the occasion, mimicking the silhouette of a traditional tennis dress. The royal also carried a brown leather Carolina Herrera bag in a satchel crossbody style. And she accessorized with some repeat pieces including her signature black and gold aviator-style sunglasses from Ray-Ban, a gold watch from Cartier and a yellow gold Cartier 'Love' bracelet.

Aquazzura

But what really stole the show for us was her pair of brown suede Aquazzura high-heeled sandals. Not only were they stunning in their own right, they are also incredibly on trend for fall, with brown suede being an autumnal front runner in fashion this year. Unfortunately, the exact pair of Aquazzura strappy sandals that Markle wore are nearly out of stock, but we managed to find some alternatives to shop so you can channel the Duchess of Sussex from your very own closet. Take a peek below to peruse our picks.
